Nutanix Files

Nutanix Files is a software-defined, scale-out file storage solution engineered to deliver high-performance, resilient, and secure unstructured data services across enterprise hybrid cloud environments. Built natively on the Nutanix Cloud Platform, Nutanix Files supports standard SMB and NFS protocols, allowing organizations to consolidate departmental file shares, user directories, and application data into an easily managed, elastic storage architecture. The solution includes advanced data protection and security capabilities, such as automated snapshot schedules, immutable write-once-read-many (WORM) storage policies, and integrated ransomware protection that detects and blocks unauthorized mass file encryption in real time. Nutanix Data Lens provides deep data analytics and audit visibility, continuously analyzing file access patterns, anomalous user behaviors, and data growth trends to identify insider risks and satisfy compliance auditing mandates. Administrators can configure role-based access controls, dynamic quotas, and automated lifecycle tiering from a single management console. Nutanix Files eliminates the administrative complexity of legacy NAS hardware, delivering scalable, cyber-resilient enterprise file services with built-in ransomware defense and forensic visibility.
